As a natural food, macadamia nuts contain antioxidants, vitamins and minerals with significant health-enhancing potential. They contain high amounts of vitamin B1 and magnesium, and a 30g handful provides 58 percent of the recommended daily intake of manganese and 22 percent of the recommended daily intake of thiamine . They thus manage to support a healthy brain by facilitating the production of neurotransmitters.

Raw macadamia nuts contain a range of nutrients along with a healthy amount of monounsaturated fat. Macadamias, with their own unique nutritional profile , are relatively low in carbohydrates and protein (containing 4 percent per ounce serving), high in oleic acid and omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid, the same fatty acid found in olive oil. In fact, of the 21 grams of fat found in macadamia nuts, only 3 grams are saturated fat. All of the above contribute to protecting your cardiovascular system and reducing or preventing inflammation.

Raw nuts (with the exception of peanuts) such as macadamias have been shown to help reduce waist circumference rather than increase weight.

A review of 31 clinical and university trials found that when people added extra nuts or dried fruit to their diets or substituted other foods for them over five weeks, they lost rather than gained about 2 pounds in weight and 0.5 inches off their waistlines . While that may seem like a small amount, over time it adds up. What's certain is that they didn't gain weight, contrary to popular belief...

So if you're watching your weight, a handful of nuts like macadamia or almonds is a much better snack option than a muffin. With about 60 percent monounsaturated fat oleic acid — the same amount as in olives — they provide the highest amount of healthy fat while being low on the carb spectrum.
